Vibrators can create excitement in the bedroom.

I have had my own interesting sexual story and it is one that I feel very comfortable sharing.  Here is not the place, sorry to get your hopes up, but I think that being communicative about your sexual feelings and fantasies is a great way for you to get along.  If you are feeling sexy, you are going to feel more empowered in other parts of your life.  A great way to feel sexy is by making sure that you are having great sex.  Sex is something that is going to last you entire life, so making sure that you are having a great time is vital.  One way for this to happen is through the introduction of sex toys into the bedroom.

sex toysYou may be asking yourself just why someone would want to introduce a sex toy into the bedroom just so that they could feel more empowered and I will respond that the most important thing is that you are comfortable with your own sexuality.  A great way to do this is by making your partner happy.  A sexually happy partner is going to be more supportive and a better lover outside of the bedroom as well.  In order for you to feel the benefits of great sex for yourself, you need to make your partner happy.  For me, as a male, there are a number of things that I feel very comfortable doing, but I also like to test the limits.  One way for this to happen is through the introduction of a vibrator.  In talking with my girlfriend, she is happy with how I am performing in bed, but I always want to see if there is anything else that I could be doing.  I actually operate the same way at work, so it makes sense to me that I am asking the same questions in the bedroom.  One of the things that I have asked about is a vibrator.  In my mind, I think that she would have a great time with a vibrator, but so far she has declined.  I am not sure why this is the case, but she is the boss and I am comfortable following her lead.

One thing that we could do as a couple is go to a sex toy party.  This may be a great opportunity for my girlfriend to find any products that she may be interested in.  I have no idea what she would be looking for, so for her to identify something, it would probably be more meaningful.  Nevertheless, that is all part of the relationship.  It is about making sure that each party is totally comfortable with the situation.  As a result, we talk regularly about sex.  I think it is a great way to make sure that we are all on the same page and that is huge for our sexual relationship.  It means that we can try more things in the bedroom because we trust each other and we can build off of that trust into pleasure.

Choosing Which Drapes to Use

There are Highly Qualified Companies that Provide Managed IT Support for other Businesses.

managed IT supportTechnology is an unstoppable force, at this point, and you need to figure out to work with it and not against it.  This is especially true if you are trying to run a business.  People have come to expect technology to be a part of how they interact with businesses.  If your business is still relying on outdated or inefficient computer systems, people will certainly hold it against your business.  Instead of trying to hire a bunch of tech people to manage this aspect of your business, you should consider hiring an outside company.  There are highly qualified companies that provide managed IT support for other businesses.

Managed IT support is an important field that more and more companies are beginning to become interested in.  It used to be normal for companies to hire their own IT staff, to handle the various IT problems that could arise.  Today, though, given how complicated information technology has become, it is often easier to hire another company for managed IT support.  The reason it is becoming increasingly ill-advised to try to handle all of your information technology needs yourself is the fact that information technology is too broad and complex of a field for a small team of individuals to handle.  Today, you would need to hire an entire staff of highly trained technology experts.  This would be far more expensive than simply outsourcing to a company that specializes in this sort of thing, not to mention the fact that the actual service you get would probably be better with the outside managed computer support company.

At the end of the day, even though it costs a little bit to hire one of these companies, you do get a lot for your money.  For one thing, if anything happens to go wrong, with regards to your networks or other aspects of your computer technology, they will automatically fix it at no extra cost to you.  In fact, they will go to great lengths to ensure that you will not have future problems as they do not make more money by fixing more things.  Essentially, it is in everyone’s best interest that they reduce the number of IT problems to a minimum, which they should be able to do, as long as you have hired a good company.  As with any other growing field, there are bound to be some bad companies.  This means that you should be careful when selecting one.  Usually, by reading a few reviews and doing a little bit of research, you should be able to weed out the bad ones and find one that seems reputable.  You will be glad that you put forth the necessary effort in finding one, once you have one that you can trust.  Not only will they reduce the number of hiccups you experience to a minimum, they will also do their best to minimize the amount of time it takes to repair the problems that do occur.  Basically, there is no good reason to not invest in IT services.

Self Storage Was the Way To Go!

storage unit

For the longest time, I had decided that the best way to remember everything was to keep everything.  When digital photographs weren’t in the mainstream, I found that my photo prints would make up for good memories to have and treasure.  I was constantly buying film, and I was constantly filling up photo albums with these memories.  I had everything sorted according to date, event, and if applicable, which subjects were being photographed.  Over time, I found that all of these photo albums were starting to take up entire bookshelves in my home, and I realized I needed to keep them in a dedicated space where they wouldn’t be taking up any of my living space.  So, I packed all of them into boxes and moved them into the attic, where they are safe and sound to this very day.

Now, photographs weren’t the only thing I obsessively collected.  I made it a point to collect vintage chairs through various times in the history of America.  Yes, I understand that it is a fairly obscure choice of items to collect, but I found a lot of satisfaction in my vintage chair collection.  Since these obviously weren’t from the same era, I could never properly organize or stack them, so they quickly filled up my garage and basement.  Unlike my photograph collection, I wasn’t able to easily store them within my house, but I soon found a solution by renting out a storage unit.

The best part of renting a storage unit was obviously clearing out the space in my home.  Now that a lot of the garage and basement is freed up of space that was occupied by my vintage chairs, I’m able to use them for far more practical things, like keeping my cars (I know, who would have thought?) in the garage, and using my basement for more temporary, short term storage plans.  Since I was using so much of the space to keep my vintage chairs, our family had to live a fairly cramped lifestyle.  Now that I’ve been utilizing self storage rental spaces, I haven’t had to worry about any space problems within my own home.

Each monthly rental is very affordable, and it is definitely worth the money invested in the space.  Honestly, I don’t know what I would do if I had to keep all of my vintage chairs within my home, because the market demand isn’t exactly a fast paced one.  I have to wait for the best time when chairs from the 50’s are the hot topic, or sometimes I have to be patient to sell those school chairs from the 80’s.  Either way, with my storage unit, I can hold onto my prized collection for a significant amount of time, and I don’t have to worry about getting rid of any of my chairs just to make more space.  In addition, they have climate controlled storage spaces, so I don’t have to worry about my chairs getting dry or brittle.  Renting one of these storage units has definitely made my life much more comfortable and stress free!

IPhone Repair Stores Are Cropping Up Everywhere

You don’t like feeling like you’re in a bind, do you? Like, you’re in the middle of a vice and it’s slowly squeezing you and you’ve got nowhere you can go, no escape. No one likes that feeling and don’t you feel that way in a figurative sense with your cell phone company? They swear that they pay retail price for the phones that they sell at a discount to us, but I don’t believe them. Who’s ever heard of a company who buys thousands, perhaps even millions of the same phone model and doesn’t get a bulk discount for buying so many? Why do we allow cell phone companies to perpetrate this lie against us without feeling at least a little animosity towards them? My idea is, that they do in fact get a bulk discount and at the very least, they sell the phone to us at the same wholesale price that they got it for, then they make money on the service over the course of the contract or time that you have the phone, until something happens and you need another one. Once we’re out of contract, isn’t it uncanny that our phones seem to break or start malfunctioning, just in time to go into another contract?

Let’s say that your iPhone’s screen cracks but otherwise, the thing works just fine. You need to get your iPhone’s screen repairediphone screen repair somehow but like a car mechanic, you’ll feel like you’re in a vice when they rake you over the coals for the cost of repairs. We’re all sick of feeling this way, sometimes one or more of us get sick enough of feeling the same terrible thing caused by the injustice of this kind of scenario that we decide to do something about it. The cell phone companies will always have us in a vice to a certain extent, my only hope is that we don’t feel like we’re getting squeezed. There are independent iPhone repair stores cropping up that are dedicated to helping us out in ways that Apple and the cell phone service companies that we have service with aren’t. My recommendation to you is to educate yourself regarding the matter so that when you do feel that same, familiar feeling of getting squeezed again when your phone’s screen cracks, you’ll feel relief immediately when you remember what I’ve told you. The same kind of a place that can repair your iPhone is capable of iPad repair as well. Tablets are growing in popularity as onboard memory becomes less important and we are able to access info we need from internet-based applications and cloud services. There’s no reason to walk around with a terabyte of information on your computer if you just need simple access to a few gigabytes. Just know that if anything happens with your cell phone company based phone or tablet that when and if something happens to it’s screen, you have alternative options other than the ones that your cell phone company might tell you about.

Imagine a World Without Steel Buildings

Sometimes, I like to sit back and daydream about scenarios where all of a sudden, random but very important things disappear from people’s lives and they’re forced to scramble as they find ways to adjust. Try it yourself, go ahead and think about something arbitrary but useful, and take it away. How about a can opener? Imagine the increased amount of people that would be visiting the emergency room after they’ve sustained some kind of injury from trying to open cans without a can opener. It’s kind of funny to think about all the crazy things people would turn to trying to open the can, we might all look like displaced neanderthals in that kind of situation. I’ll pick whatever it is completely at random, large or small, and then explore the possibilities of a world where it all goes poof and completely disappears. How about large steel and metal buildings? Let’s think and talk about a world without them for a bit and what would happen on the morning when everyone woke up and they’d all completely vanished. Imagine all the expensive  equipment and product being used and stored inside factories and other buildings being exposed to the elements, it would all get ruined. At least most people’s homes would be safe because they were constructed out of wood, but all kinds of commercial businesses,  facilities, schools, churches, and prisons wouldn’t be there anymore. Imagine that. The world would devolve into a state of complete madness as looters run rampant and riots break out in cities in every country on the planet. It could serve as a great equalizing event and make this whole world a pretty crazy place, no matter where you live.

Yes, like I mentioned in the previous paragraph. Steel buildings are used in a variety of industries, even the religious industry if you want to call it that. Many churches turn to steel building providers to help them make their dream house of the lord come to life. Any building design that requires at least one large, open and spacious room is usually built using steel because it’s stronger than wood and doesn’t require lateral supports. Most chapels I’ve been in have very high ceilings and opposing walls that are very far apart from one another, with rows and rows of church pews lined up in between them. It’s not possible to build a room like that without steel, so think about going to church this Sunday outside and hope that the weather’s nice. That sounds a lot better than the kind of church I’m used to, but it doesn’t sound like too much fun at all during the hot summer months or the cold winter ones. Many school gymnasiums would just go poof, and leave behind nothing but bleacher seats and basketball hoops. Equipment used in facilities to make important things that we use in our lives, would have to be covered and protected from the elements until we came up with a way to deal with not have any metal buildings around anymore.

What Is An EGL Certified Diamond?

There are a lot of people and business organizations that believe that they are the best at what they do, but everyone has an opinion and it normally isn’t an objective one. Then the comparisons begin and a whole lot of frivolous arguments and debates can erupt over small details, but it’s like they say: The devil is in the details. I believe that many human beings have the need to feel superior or elite, this is encouraged by insecurities in most cases, and it can manifest itself in an unlimited amount of ways. This kind of thing happens in business too, but I think that it comes from a competition and survival-based mentality more than anything else. When a business does the same thing that other businesses do, it can be difficult for it to differentiate itself from the competition, and forging a quality reputation becomes seriously important piece of that business. The diamond industry is a lot like what I’ve just explained, and there are many different gemologists that are employed by various authorities on the matter that have their own opinions, just like the organizations that they are employed by have their own reputations. Any business or corporation is nothing more than the people that work for it, and if those people depend on that business for a living, they’re more likely to buy into it’s cause and way of thinking. It’s possible for a diamond to be graded the exact same way by two different diamond-grading authorities, however discrepancies are expected based on the way different institutions train their diamond graders. That means that an EGL certified diamondEGL certified diamond isn’t necessarily the quality of one certified by the GIA.

The GIA (Gemology Institute of America) is considered by most with knowledge of the industry, to be the most respected gemology center in the world. This is mostly because they established the Four C’s of diamonds and their grading criteria made so much sense, that every diamond-grading entity that has come since uses the same rules and guidelines. Like I mentioned earlier though, everyone’s got an opinion that is usually biased or subjective to one degree or another. What comes across as grey to me, might be considered off-white by someone else and neither one of us is necessarily wrong. There are scenarios with specific diamonds though, that are so perfect and flawless that they could be graded as such by the EGL or GIA, making it an EGL or GIA certified diamond. The carat and cut of a diamond are two out of the four criteria that aren’t really debatable, because size is size and easy to agree on and errors made while cutting a diamond are easy to spot. The clarity and color of any given loose diamond are both aspects that can inspire and encourage some subjective debate. There are no real, clear and distinctive lines that separate one level from another. It’s like a teacher wanting to give you an A, but they don’t believe that you quite deserve it so they opt to give you either an A- or a B+.

I Keep An LED Display Screen In My Office That Tells Me Exactly How Many Days I Have Left Before I Retire

I can’t wait to retire. I have wanted to retire for as long as I have been working in fact, which is now, over thirty years. I have eleven years, fifty two days, and 34 seconds left until I am retired. I know the exact amount of time I have left in labor, because my darling daughter bought me this LED display screen who’s only function is to count off the seconds before I can retire. I know they sell all kinds of different LED panels now, which serve all kinds of functions from entertainment to lighting. However, mine only lets me know how many days of my life I have to continue coming into this office and completing my menial work tasks. They say a watched pot never boils but I disagree. I take a great amount of pleasure in keeping track of the seconds remaining with me at this desk. I would say on average, I spend more time gazing at my LED signageLED signage, than I do with my actual work. The reason for this is simple; I love the idea of retirement and I hate my job.

When I was a young man my father used to always tell me that if I worked hard and if I stayed well employed all my life, that I would know the happiness of an honest man. I have concluded that what my father told me can only be true if the happiness of an honest man is the same as the misery of a sane man. I don’t know why I believed my father since he was both an exceptionally hardworking but brutally unhappy person. I guess when your father tells you something, you tend to take it to heart.

Nowadays, I wish I had done almost anything else with my life besides work honestly. I imagine what it would be like to be a free-romancing bum, traveling from city to city, sleeping under bridges and drinking wine at eleven in the morning. I bet that most rootless, homeless people are much happier than I am. I also sometimes fantasize about what the life of a criminal would have been like. What may have come if one day I held up a liquor store? I think about these things often, but then I think that maybe I should have tried harder in school. I can’t go back though and relive the past though, at this point, it is what it is. This is my career, this is my life, and I’m literally watching the seconds tick away on my LCD display screen.

My wife has been retired now for almost seven years. She was able to retire because when her mother passed away. She left her just enough money for her to never need to work again but not enough for me to be able to stop working too. I need to continue to pay bills and put our loving children through the university so one day, they can join the work force like their old man.

I’m saving up for a luxury cruise

I don’t know about you, but I spend an awful lot of time working.  Some weeks I am at the office for seventy hours, some nights it is actually easier for me to sleep at work than it is for me to come home just to leave again.  I get compensated pretty well for my efforts – believe me, I would never do the things that I do for my company if they did not treat me as well as they do in the other areas – but sometimes it really does get to be a complete drag.  To help make things better, a couple of years ago I started to keep money aside specifically to make a fund for vacations.  I do not have a lot of time to sit back and dream about things, but it really helps knowing that when the time comes to get away from it all that there will be enough set aside that I can do whatever I want to do.

luxury cruise

At the moment, I am facing the issue that if I don’t start taking vacation time that I will not continue to accrue any more of it.  That means that I probably have to actually finally take a real vacation, so I have been looking into what the truly good options are for having a great trip that actually takes away the cares of the day to day world.  I think I found just the thing I was looking for: a Regent all-inclusive cruise package.

I know, a lot of people take cruises.  These Regent luxury cruises are a little bit different, and I think better.  First of all, they cruise to pretty much everywhere in the world, from Australia to Murmansk.  And as a pretty strong bonus, when you book your cruise they throw in the air fare to get to your departure point – they even book it for you.  Once you’re there, you can be on a cruise for a week, two weeks, heck even three months if you want; you can burn as much vacation time as you want to!  A lot of cruise ships also try to pack on as many people as they can, cramming the majority of them into little tiny cabins that are barely more than metal boxes with bunks.  Not so on regent – these luxury cruise ships only have suites aboard them, and about ninety percent of their suites have their own balconies.  Added to that, there is all of the on board entertainment that you would expect (shows, talks, fantastic food and drink made by world class chefs) and no limitations on how much time you can spend off of the ship when it is in port.  And all of that is included in the up front cost of the trip – nothing you do once you are on board will cost you any extra (well, maybe souvenirs if you go shopping when you go ashore!).

Now the only hard part is figuring out where I want to go….
